Subject: Two sprints 3 & 4 weeks before A sprint race???? I've done 3 sprints- one each year for the last three years. This year I really want to rock my hometown tri which is in 4 weeks (June 5). I was thinking of doing a sprint this weekend (May 7) and next weekend (May 14) in near by towns, mostly to practice transitions and try out variables (eat before, hydration, etc.) but I am not the type that can "take it easy" in a race. I know myself- I'll go all out. I've been advised not to do the races if I can't hold back a little. "The more you hold back the more you'll have for your A race". I was thinking going all out 3 and 4 weeks before would be good training and a way to really push myself but not too close to wear myself out. I usually train 14 hours a week. Thoughts? |
